    [INVITATION] Hong Kong-Israel Collaboration Workshop: AgriFood-Tech​

    Date: 31 March 2022 (Thursday)
    Time: 2:00pm-3:30pm (HK Time) / 9:00am-10:30am (Israel Time)
    Venue: Via Zoom
    Registration: Free

    Israel has long been a trailblazer in AgriFood-Tech, driven by a number of factors, including government support and the lessons learned from local shortages of natural resources, which fostered innovative methods and technologies for “growing more with less.” The start-up nation has cultivated a thriving AgriFood-Tech ecosystem - the second largest in the world – home to over 400 companies.

    On the other hand, there has been increasing focus from family offices and the next-gen, to find investments with impact, particularly in AgriFood-Tech, where a combination of ESG principles, coupled with extremely attractive growth and ROI propositions, are creating potentially game-changing businesses.

    As an International Financial Centre, Hong Kong offers overseas investment opportunities to family offices, including Israel, one of the top innovative countries with no investment restrictions on foreign capital.

    The FSDC is pleased to invite you to join the inaugural session of our Hong Kong-Israel Collaboration Workshop Series, focusing on the AgriFood-Tech industry in Israel. The workshop will include academia and industry experts from the agriculture and food industries to share insights on the ecosystem of the AgriFood-Tech in Israel, including research, incubators and the crossover from the academic studies into the commercial world.

    Please join us to meet key AgriFood-Tech leaders in Hong Kong and Israel who will discuss some of the recent developments and highlight key investment trends and opportunities for family offices in Hong Kong and across the Greater Bay Area.
